After dialing the phone, Iris quickly answered, "Mr. Lawrence?"
"Did you go to South Hospital today?" Zane responded before asking directly.
Iris replied, "I'm on my way to South Hospital now. I promised Anika that I would have dinner with her
tonight."
Upon hearing Iris' words, Zane said, "When you're ready, bring Anika out to eat. We'll be at..."
Before he could finish, Zane turned to Yanis and asked in a low voice, "Where should we eat?"
Yanis thought for a moment and whispered, "Banyan Garden, it's quieter."
Zane relayed Yanis' words to Iris, saying, "Banyan Garden."
Iris responded, "Okay, I'll pick up Anika and come over in a while."
"No rush, we'll wait for you there."
After ending the call, Zane looked at the things he was holding and asked, "Do you want to keep
browsing?"
Yanis whispered, "I saw a women's outfit that would suit Anika. Let's buy it for her."
"Do you know her size?" Zane asked.
Yanis nodded. "I can tell at a glance."
Yanis had often looked at sizes when shopping with Bonnie, so she could roughly estimate the size.
Anika was very slim now, and even a small size felt loose on her.
As they chatted, Yanis and Zane returned to the women's clothing store they had visited earlier. Yanis
asked the salesperson to wrap the clothes she had picked out and paid for them. After that, they drove
directly to Banyan Garden.
It was around 5 or 6 p. m., the dinner rush hour, and there were many cars on the road. It took them
nearly half an hour to reach Banyan Garden from the mall.
When they arrived, Iris and Anika were still on their way.
So they went in and ordered the dishes first.
"I'll go to the restroom." After placing the order, Yanis greeted Zane and went straight to the restroom.
Zane watched Yanis enter the restroom. He had initially planned to go to their private room, but after
some consideration, he decided to sit in the lobby on one of the chairs.
Yanis had already reached the restroom, but before she could enter, her phone rang.
It was Stella calling. Yanis answered the call, "Stella?"
"Are you planning to shop until tomorrow? Or are you going to finish the whole year's shopping today?"
Stella's voice came through the phone.
Yanis smiled and replied, "It's not that exaggerated, but Sandy and I are not together. She met a friend
in the afternoon and went to have dinner with them. She should be back soon. Did you try calling her?"
"I did, but I couldn't reach her, so I called you first. I'll try calling her again later," Stella explained.
Hearing Stella's words, Yanis felt a bit uneasy, but she didn't say anything in front of Stella. "I'll call her
later."
After saying that, Yanis asked, "Stella, have you had dinner? Zane, Anika, and I are at Banyan Garden.
Do you want to come over?"
Stella immediately declined, "No need. I'll just cook something at home. I haven't been feeling well all
day, as if I haven't slept enough. After you ask Sandy later and if everything's fine, you don't need to
call me. I'm planning to go back to sleep."
Hearing Stella's words, Yanis couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't you sleep the whole day?"
Stella sighed, "I'm just getting old. You guys go ahead and have your meal. I'll go back to sleep."
Yanis chuckled and replied, "Alright then. Get some rest."
After saying goodbye, Yanis hung up the phone.
After ending the call with Stella, Yanis called Sandy.
Sandy answered almost instantly, "Yanis?"
"You're still not home?" Yanis asked directly.
"I'm about to leave. Mr. Austi is giving me a ride," Sandy replied. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Yanis felt relieved upon hearing Sandy's response. "Call me when you get home."
"Sure."
After the call with Sandy, Yanis put away her phone and prepared to go to the restroom. However, as
she turned around, she accidentally bumped into someone coming out from inside. Yanis instinctively
apologized, "Sorry, I..."
But as she saw who she had bumped into, the words froze in her throat. Madison stood at the entrance
of the restroom, equally stunned.
Yanis didn't expect to encounter Madison here. They hadn't seen each other since their last meeting.
Now, meeting again, their identities were different, and they were even more like strangers.
Martin's words echoed in Yanis' mind like a relentless curse. "If she's with you, she can't marry into a
wealthy family!"
That was why Yanis had given her up and let Olivia marry into the Baxter family successfully!
The two of them stared at each other, neither speaking first.
After a while, Yanis made the first move. She had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with Madison
and simply walked past her into the restroom.
Yanis thought Madison would have left by the time she came out, but as she finished washing her
hands and exited the restroom, she saw Madison still standing in the hallway.
This time, Madison spoke first, "Yanis, can we talk?"
Yanis furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing Madison's voice. "Mrs. Baxter, I don't think we have
anything to talk about. My husband is waiting for me. I'll leave first."
Yanis intended to leave after saying that, but as she passed by Madison, her wrist was grabbed by
Madison's hand.
Yanis was forced to stop and instinctively pulled her hand out of Madison's grip.
Madison's hand remained suspended awkwardly in mid-air, and she looked at Yanis with a hint of
embarrassment. She spoke softly, "Yanis, I just wanted to talk to you about what happened before. I..."
"Mrs. Baxter, I don't want to know about the past or anything that happened before. I think the way
things are now between us is fine. Let's not disturb each other and maintain the current situation,"
Yanis interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
Madison's words were stuck on the tip of her tongue, unable to come out.
And Yanis didn't give Madison a chance to speak further. She turned around and walked away.
Madison hesitated for a moment before following behind, saying, "Yanis."
As Yanis heard Madison's voice reaching out to her, she quickened her pace and practically ran out of
the restroom.
Zane had been waiting for Yanis for what felt like a long time. Just as he was about to get up and check
on her, he saw Yanis rushing towards him with an anxious expression.
Zane approached her and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong?"
Yanis shook her head. "Let's go to the private room."
"Yanis."
Just as Yanis finished speaking with Zane, Madison came out as well.
When Madison saw Zane, her footsteps hesitated for a moment.
Zane held Yanis in his arms, glanced at Madison, and furrowed his brow slightly. He asked calmly,
"Does Mrs. Baxter need something from Yanis?"
